I always consider them to be more like “Linux” guys.
But it was Windows 2.1, so.
You’re telling me none of them used Mac?
Get outta here
Why are people always surprised to find out a civilization with the most advanced navigation and seamanship on earth at the time might actually have been more advanced than they thought?
If we didn’t have Reddit, this article would be super fascinating.
Wow, windows!!!!
The word “window” even comes from the old norse word “vindauga” (wind eye). The new discovery is that they also had windows made of glass, it has been known for a long time that viking long houses had windows without glass for ventilation.
My apartment didn’t have windows. Was I a barbarian before?
I had to write a paper in college and somehow ended up with Vikings. I had no clue what to write about, but I know any good paper needs to make an argument. What could I argue about Vikings?
After about 15 minutes of research I decided my thesis would be “Vikings were way more civilized than they’re portrayed.”
This should really specify *glass* windows.
Putting holes in your walls for light and airflow is something even barbarians can figure out.
Well, they did worship Odin, the master of IKEA. So I would imagine home comfort technology to be a priority for them.
This just seems like common sense to me. Do you think you can run an empire purely based on the philosophy of hitting other people in the head with axes?
